Own your audience. Take it anywhere.

OwnYour is the creator storefront platform I built: sell products, services, and memberships from a store on your own domain, take payment through your own Stripe account, and export your audience, your subscribers, and your sales as a CSV anytime. What you build is yours to keep, and yours to leave with. That is the part Stan Store, Gumroad, and Linktree keep locked in.

Live, in private beta, with real creator stores.

The problem

You are building on rented land

Every creator platform sits between you and your people. It holds your email list. It takes a cut of every sale. It owns the address, so your store lives at their domain, not yours. And the day you leave, you find out how much of what you built you never actually owned.

The shift

Own the store, the domain, the list, and the money

OwnYour puts you back in the middle. Your list is yours: export every contact to a CSV whenever you want. You keep your revenue, because payment runs through your own Stripe account and the platform fee is 0%. Your store lives at your own address, on a domain you control. And the day you decide to move on, you take your audience, your subscribers, and your sales with you. Nothing to lose, because you owned it the whole time.

See it live

A real platform, in real use

OwnYour is live and in private beta, with real creators running real stores. Visit it, click through a store, and it is exactly what it says it is.

The OwnYour homepage: Own your corner of the internet. Links, products, bookings, one place you actually own, with a field to claim your own yourname.ownyour.store address.
Why you can trust it

Built and run like production

Owning your store only matters if the platform holds up. Real money runs through OwnYour, so it is built and run the way payment software has to be, not the way a side project usually is.

The tests, and their limits

1,491 tests cover the platform. When a payment-handling defect passed the suite silently, I caught it against real Stripe data, wrote the regression test to reproduce it, and fixed it before any customer was affected. Knowing where tests stop is the harder skill.

Tested disaster recovery

Recovery is proven, not assumed: a full backup restored into a clean database, 24,005 rows recovered. Off-site encrypted backups with a verified round-trip. The platform can survive losing its server.

Self-healing billing

A scheduled reconciler detects and repairs subscription drift against Stripe automatically, so the platform's records stay honest even when Stripe and the database disagree.

Fraud defense that has been tested for real

Card-testing detection, automatic blocking of bad charges, and full dispute-lifecycle handling. A real attack was contained with losses capped.

1,491 tests
Through migration 0113. Zero rollbacks in production (founder-confirmed).
Clean Architecture
A domain layer independent of the framework, business logic in application services, framework code isolated in infrastructure.
Stripe Connect, done carefully
Direct-to-creator payouts, idempotent webhook handling, and tracking Stripe's own API changes so records reconcile automatically.

Work with me

Want a platform like this?

OwnYour is proof of what I build: production-grade software that people run their business on. If you need a system like this, I build it.

Two ways to work

For your company

Founders and operators: I build the platform or system your business runs on, to the same production standard as OwnYour.

To offer your clients

Agencies and partners: I build a platform you put your own name on and offer to your clients. You keep the relationship and the upside.

My own shipped work is built to pass the very audit I sell.
